🖤🥀 RED LORRY YELLOW LORRY: Final Album “Strange Kind of Paradise” Arriving in July via COP International! 🎸💀

“’40 years on and the guitars still try to strangle each other, the words still struggle to make sense of chaos and the rhythms drive us to a glorious destination.’ ~David Wolfenden of Red Lorry Yellow Lorry”

Seminal post-punk legends Red Lorry Yellow Lorry are set to release their long-awaited and final album, “Strange Kind of Paradise,” this July via COP International. This album, nearly two decades in the making, marks the poignant conclusion to the Leeds, England band’s remarkable career.

Despite their years, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry retain every bit of their signature edge and swagger. “Strange Kind of Paradise” burns with the raw intensity that made them so compelling from the start, thrashing against the chaos of modern life and grappling with themes of disillusionment, survival, and fleeting transcendence.

Arriving after their acclaimed “Driving Black” EP from late 2024, “Strange Kind of Paradise” is now available for preorder via Bandcamp from COP International in limited edition vinyl and CD formats, as well as across all digital and streaming platforms. The track “Walking On Air” is currently available for streaming exclusively on Bandcamp.

⚔️🛡️ Fantasy Metal Warriors CASTLE RAT Announce New Album “The Bestiary” + 2025 US Tour! 🦇💀

Emerging from the creature-infested depths of New York, the epic fantasy heavy metal band CASTLE RAT, led by the formidable “Rat Queen” (Riley Pinkerton), have revealed details for their highly anticipated sophomore album, “The Bestiary,” set to be unleashed on September 19th via a collaborative release from King Volume Records (US) and Blues Funeral Recordings (UK/Europe).

“The Bestiary” was recorded by the renowned Randall Dunn (Sunn O))), Wolves in the Throne Room, Björk) and mixed by Jonathan Nuñez (Torche, Restless Spirit), ensuring a sonic journey of epic proportions.

The Rat Queen herself describes the album: “‘The Bestiary’ is a conceptual book of beasts containing a collection of mystical creatures from a world forgotten. The last remaining souls of each have been gathered and preserved by ‘The Wizard.’ Cautionary tales of each beast and The Wizard himself are woven through the power of traditional heavy metal song and spell.”

The Bestiary Tracklist:

  3. WIZARD: Crystal Heart
  4. SIREN: The Pull of Promise

🌃 CHICAGO’S COMASOFT Return with Triumphant New EP “Gather at the End”! 🎸

Chicago’s electro-rock quartet, Comasoft, have made a triumphant return with their brand new EP, “Gather at the End,” released on April 25th via Moth in a Flame! The EP features five fresh tracks, including the previously released singles “Numbing” and “Firebomb.”

Produced at BLVM3 Studios in Chicago, “Gather at the End” features founding member Tomasz Banach alongside Ramirez, Christopher Lee, and Chris Cambell. This marks Comasoft’s first new music since 2023’s “Finis Temporis” and 2015’s “Let’s go All the Way” EP.

This new EP is particularly significant as it celebrates the 20th anniversary of their self-titled debut release on Moth in a Flame Records. Over two decades, the band has released two full-length albums, four EPs, and numerous singles, including their college radio hit “10volt.” While band members have evolved, Comasoft continues to deliver a sound that feels both fresh and reminiscent of iconic bands like The Cure, Placebo, and Gary Numan, all wrapped in an 80s neon aesthetic. Ramirez’s new romantic vocals blend seamlessly with powerful synthesizers and sharp guitars.

Gather at the End Tracklisting:

  1. Fire Bomb
  2. Restless Life
  3. Numbing (Perchance)
  4. Deprive
  5. Trapped in a Vial

For those who came of age in Chicago between Generation X and Millennial, Comasoft was a familiar face in the city’s dark, fog-filled clubs, sharing stages with electro-glam contemporaries and supporting major acts like Madina Lake, Hawthorne Heights, Breathe Carolina, The Presets, and Kill Hannah, as well as dark electronic artists such as IAMX, Apoptygma Berzerk, and Stabbing Westward.

Comasoft made their long-awaited return to the stage this past November, opening for a sold-out hometown show with Stabbing Westward. Riding high on the energy of that performance, Jay Ramirez and Comasoft focused on completing their new EP and booking more shows in 2025. Upcoming dates include a headlining show at Cobra Lounge in Chicago on April 25th and supporting EBM legends Leaether Strip in Columbus, Ohio on July 11th. More dates for 2025 are expected to be announced soon.

COMASOFT LIVE DATES 2025:

4/25/2025 Cobra Lounge, Chicago w/ BA Sisters and DJ Leo

7/11/2025 Black Swan Bar and Grill, Columbus w/Leaether Strip and the Stigmas

BLOOD VULTURE Announces Debut Album, “Die Close,” Out June 27th!

New Single/Video, “A Dream About Starving To Death,” Streaming Now

From the shadowy crypts of New York comes the malevolent new band, BLOOD VULTURE. Created by Jordan Old (2 Minutes To Late Night), this gothic sludge metal entity lures listeners in with a mesmerizing blend of romanticism, metallic vibes, and brutal reckoning on their debut album, Die Close, which will be released on June 27th via Pure Noise Records.

Today, BLOOD VULTURE reveals the video for their first single, “A Dream About Starving To Death.” Jordan Olds comments on the track:

“’A Dream About Starving To Death’ is a song I wrote about a vampire who realizes he is about to watch the world end. He has lived past the extinction of humanity and lost count of how many days he has been hungry, and he realizes that soon there won’t be an earth anymore. He’s not sure whether it will explode or just rot and crumble, and he’s curious about whether he’ll disintegrate or just float forever in space.

The music video was inspired by the “Freddy coming through the wall” scene from “A Nightmare On Elm Street.” I then built it around a sleep paralysis narrative and had a lot of fun creating a Gullermo Del Toro style Hat Man and a goopy void reminiscent of Aliens and the symbiote from Spiderman alongside one of my main visual collaborators for this project, Kelly Harris. She also built and designed “Montague” the puppet from the “Blood Vault” segment at the beginning of the video. She’s a genius.”

Die Close Tracklist:

  6. Die Close – Interlude
  7. Burn For It (Feat. Brian Fair)
  8. The Silence of God
  9. Abomination
  10. Die Close – Finale

About BLOOD VULTURE:

Deep in the heart of a dark, mythical land (New York) in a bygone era (2025), BLOOD VULTURE has awakened ominous, morose tales of mortality, grief, madness and obsession. The self-described “Gothic sludge” project is the brainchild of Jordan Olds (Two Minutes to Late Night.) On his debut LP, DIE CLOSE (Pure Noise), Olds melds the emotive vocal stylings of grunge’s golden era with death metal, goth rock, and doom metal through a vampiric lens. The album tells the story of a reclusive vampire long locked away as he grapples with what it means to live forever in a world of impermanence. Blood Vulture’s songs are deeply personal, filtering real life ruminations through fantastical set pieces as tracks like “A Dream About Starving To Death” and the three-part “Die Close” suite ask: What good is immortality if there’s no one to share it with? What’s the true cost of isolation?

MASSIVE EGO UNLEASHES “HIT THE KERB RUNNING”

NEW SINGLE & MUSIC VIDEO OUT NOW!

WE ARE SURVIVORS

UK dark synth band Massive Ego, fresh off the heels of their February single “(My) Death Song,” have dropped their latest high-octane track, “Hit The Kerb Running,” from their upcoming album. This song is a dark-wave, post-punk infused anthem about facing life’s challenges head-on, even when you stumble, with the confidence to keep running towards victory.

Listen to “Hit The Kerb Running”:https://massiveego.lnk.to/HitTheKerbRunning

Watch the official music video:Massive Ego – Hit The Kerb Running (Official Music Video)

Approaching their 30th anniversary in 2026, Massive Ego is back with new music and performances. They are scheduled to perform at Germany’s M’era Luna festival (August 9-10th, 2025) and Hellsinki Industrial Festival (November 6-8th, 2025).

The song’s message echoes the spirit of 1976 Punk: “too fast to live / we’re too young to die.” It’s about picking yourself up and persevering despite setbacks.

“Hit The Kerb Running” includes two remixes: a harder club mix by Germany’s XTR Human and a vocal-led dark remix by Portuguese duo IAMTHESHADOW.

The music video features fast cuts and edits, reflecting the song’s theme of running towards and away from danger, symbolized by the color red.

Massive Ego continues to break rules, defying genres and trends.

DAWN OF ASHES Drops New Single “HYPERTENSIVE CRISIS” Ahead of Upcoming Album

Los Angeles-founded industrial act DAWN OF ASHES, the project of Kristof Bathory since the turn of the millennium, has unleashed their new single, “HYPERTENSIVE CRISIS,” today, April 18th, 2025, via Metropolis Records.

Links to access the single are available for WAV, MP3, streaming platforms, Bandcamp, and the official music video on YouTube:



DAWN OF ASHES – HYPERTENSIVE CRISIS – OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO (Radio Version).

This new track is a precursor to their forthcoming album, “INFECTING THE SCARS,” set to be released on June 6th, 2025.

Formed with a moniker suggesting ‘the beginning of the end,’ Dawn Of Ashes initially emerged from the industrial and aggrotech scenes, later incorporating blackened metal and extreme industrial elements. For over two decades, Bathory and the band have consistently pushed the boundaries of extreme music.

Relocating to Denmark, the upcoming album “Infecting The Scars” marks a return to Dawn Of Ashes’ aggrotech roots, infused with a heightened level of intensity and maturity. It is described as a rebirth, blending past aggression with a refined modern sound. The lyrics and sound delve into psychological horror, inner turmoil, and the scars left by life’s harsh experiences, moving beyond mere destructive anthems.

Regarding the new single, “Hypertensive Crisis,” Kristof Bathory states it’s a conscious effort to “recapture the nostalgia of our early era while seamlessly blending it with fresh, modern elements. Evolution and maturity – both in sound and lyrics – are crucial to the creative process. Artistic growth has allowed this project to delve deeper, delivering more meaningful lyrics that evoke horror through the lens of psychosis. This song is a perfect example, showcasing a fully realised version of our classic sound, reimagined with a new intensity and depth.”

The move to Denmark also signals an expansion of Dawn Of Ashes’ live presence, with European tour dates in development alongside planned shows in Mexico, promising widespread chaos and horror.

🚀 Awake Consciousness Ignite Evolution on Into A Quantum Leap

Spanish metalcore unit blends djent, post-core, and progressive fury with a message of awakening.

Awake Consciousness are not your average heavy band. Emerging from Spain’s ever-growing underground metal scene, this progressive metalcore powerhouse fuses djent, groove metal, and post-core into a sound that’s as technically brutal as it is spiritually uplifting. Their mission? To awaken the human soul—one riff at a time.

💿 Their debut album, Into A Quantum Leap, dropped via ON FIRE Records in February 2022, and it’s a full-throttle, soul-shaking declaration of intent.

Formed in 2018 by guitarist Danfred and vocalist Ira Kero, the band evolved quickly into a tight, high-impact force. With Manu Valler on second guitar bringing production chops and technical expertise, and bassist Erik Grajo rounding out the group with sonic weight and visual flair, Awake Consciousness became a vessel for change—musically and thematically.

🧠 The Message Behind the Mayhem

Into A Quantum Leap explores the seismic shift from the Piscean Age to the Aquarian Age, a symbolic leap into a higher vibration of awareness. With lyrics rooted in daily struggles, spiritual introspection, and societal critique, Awake Consciousness aren’t just breaking necks—they’re breaking paradigms.

This album is a social wake-up call, a rallying cry to smash fear, reject apathy, and embrace conscious living. If you’re a fan of Jinjer, Monuments, Meshuggah, or Veil of Maya, Awake Consciousness might just be the next mind-melting discovery on your radar.

🎧 Tracklist:

  1. We, The Outsiders
  2. Neptune
  3. Entropy
  4. Masquerade
  5. Eris
  6. Quit
  7. Evolution Is Fear
  8. In Travel
  9. Kinetic
  10. 2050

⚔️ BYZANTINE Announce New Album Harbingers—Coming June 13 via Metal Blade Records

Metal veterans return with crushing riffs, dystopian themes, and a lineup forged for war.

West Virginia metal juggernauts BYZANTINE are back with their long-awaited eighth studio album, Harbingers, dropping June 13th via Metal Blade Records. And to kick things off, the band just unleashed their punishing new single “Floating Chrysanthema”—a futuristic tale of AI domination set to one of the heaviest tracks they’ve ever written.

🎥 Watch the video for “Floating Chrysanthema”
💿 Pre-order Harbingers now

Produced by Peter Wichers (Soilwork, Nevermore), Harbingers sees BYZANTINE pushing their sonic and lyrical intensity to new heights. Clocking in at 45 minutes across 9 tracks, the album is a bold evolution from one of the most unsung yet relentless forces of the New Wave Of American Heavy Metal.

💬 “After 25 years of riding the struggle bus, we’re ready to show the rock and metal world what we’re truly about,” says frontman Chris “OJ” Ojeda.

“Floating Chrysanthema” hits like a sledgehammer—fueled by Wichers’ sharp production and a post-human narrative where artificial intelligence enslaves humanity. With towering riffs and neck-snapping rhythm, it’s the perfect preview of what’s to come.

🖼️ The album cover, designed by Ashley Hoey, features a powerful portrait of Irene of Athens, the first female ruler of the Byzantine Empire, tying directly into the album’s title—Harbingers, or “ones who usher in great change.”

💣 Harbingers Tracklist:

  1. Consequentia
  2. A Place We Cannot Go
  3. Floating Chrysanthema
  4. The Clockmaker’s Intention
  5. Riddance
  6. Harbinger
  7. The Unobtainable Sleep
  8. Kobayashi Maru
  9. Irene

🔥 A Legacy Reignited

Discovered by Lamb Of God’s Chris Adler, BYZANTINE broke onto the scene with 2004’s The Fundamental Component, setting a benchmark for groove-thrash hybrid aggression. Despite breakups, lineup changes, and label shifts, they’ve remained a cult favorite and metal lifer’s band—releasing genre-defying albums like To Release Is To Resolve and 2017’s The Cicada Tree.

Now, armed with a five-piece lineup (for the first time ever) that includes Tony Rohrbough’s return on guitar, BYZANTINE are ready to dominate. With Harbingers, they aren’t just making a statement—they’re making history.

💬 “If you’ve slept on BYZANTINE for the past 25 years,” Ojeda warns, “Harbingers will awaken you.”

🚢 GRAVEYARD & GOAT Unleash Psychedelic Storm with “Ship of Fools”

A twin blast of vintage swagger and cosmic chaos—now streaming everywhere!

Swedish rock torchbearers GRAVEYARD have joined forces with their longtime psych-rock comrades GOAT to release a mind-expanding collaborative 7″ single for Record Store Day—and the second track, “Ship of Fools,” has officially hit the digital realm.

🔥 Stream “Ship of Fools” now
🎥 Watch the visualizer

This double A-side release—featuring the previously premiered “Light As A Feather”—is a smoky blend of GRAVEYARD’s soul-drenched rock and GOAT’s psychedelic ritualism. Born from freeform jam sessions at GOAT HQ, “Ship of Fools” crashes over listeners with crashing waves of fuzzed-out guitar, booming low-end, and the kind of vintage swagger that would make the ’70s blush. It’s GRAVEYARD’s grandeur polished by GOAT’s experimental grit—a stadium-worthy stomp with the haze of a late-night seance.

On the flip side, “Light As A Feather” levitates into full-blown astral projection, ditching conventional song structure for a groove-heavy swirl of harmony and acid-drenched leads. It’s the sound of a sonic séance conducted by Father Yod at the wheel of the Rolling Stones’ tour bus.
